Kevin was born November 10, 1960 in Marengo, Iowa the son of Don and Jeannette (Krueger) Mc Afee. He was a graduate of Lisbon High School in Lisbon, Iowa where he had a major or lead role in every school play throughout his high school years.

in German. On June 28, 1998 he was united in marriage Brenda Krabill (Ingwersen) at New Oaks Church of the Nazarene. He was previously married to Kim Mathews.

He'd worked for Schwan's for 12 years, first as a route driver and most recently as a facility manager. He was a member of New Oaks Church of the Nazarene and served in many capacities. He had run AV equipment, made announcements, sang on the worship team, wrote and acted in skits and radio ads, was on the Creation Station children's ministry drama team, and served as board member and missions president. He also served several years as a youth camp counselor. Growing in his relationship with Christ and spending time with his wife and children were the most important things to him. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, and gun collecting and was a lifelong member of the NRA. He had a black belt in ATA Taekwondo where he was an assistant instructor and the 2001 state champ. He also enjoyed singing, classic TV and movies, was an avid reader, enjoyed talking with people, and had a great sense of humor. Kevin's most desired goal was to see God be glorified through his life and he accomplished this in his final months as he fought a valiant fight and kept the faith.
